    On Lorentz violation in e ⁣ ⁣+ ⁣e+ ⁣ ⁣μ ⁣ ⁣+ ⁣μ+e^{-}\!\!+\!e^{+}\!\rightarrow\!\mu^{-}\!\!+\!\mu^{+} scattering at finite temperature

    Small violation of Lorentz and CPT symmetries may emerge in models unifying gravity with other forces of nature. An extension of the standard model with all possible terms that violate Lorentz and CPT symmetries are included. Here a CPT-even non-minimal coupling term is added to the covariant derivative. This leads to a new interaction term that breaks the Lorentz symmetry. Our main objective is to calculate the cross section for the e ⁣ ⁣+ ⁣e+ ⁣ ⁣μ ⁣ ⁣+ ⁣μ+e^{-}\!\!+\!e^{+}\!\rightarrow\!\mu^{-}\!\!+\!\mu^{+} scattering in order to investigate any violation of Lorentz and/or CPT symmetry at finite temperature. Thermo Field Dynamics formalism is used to consider finite temperature effects.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in PL

    Caracterização anatômica de frutos de genótipos de bananeira quanto ao despencamento.

    Get PDF
    As bananas são comercializadas em pencas ou buquês, geralmente com 4 a 9 frutos, sendo o despencamento dos frutos um dos principais problemas na comercialização, fazendo com que ocorra diminuição da aceitação dos consumidores e, consequentemente, diminuição do valor de mercado da fruta. Este despencamento dos frutos é uma desordem fisiológica pós-colheita associada com o amadurecimento

    Variabilidade genética entre diploides de banana quanto ao despencamento dos frutos.

    O despencamento natural dos frutos maduros é um dos graves problemas dos programas de melhoramento genético de bananeira relacionado a qualidade do fruto. O desprendimento individual dos frutos é uma desordem fisiológica associada ao amadurecimento (1), que resulta em alta perecibilidade pós-colheita

    Experimental analysis of lateral impact on planar brittle material: spatial properties of the cracks

    Get PDF
    The breakup of glass and alumina plates due to planar impacts on one of their lateral sides is studied. Particular attention is given to investigating the spatial location of the cracks within the plates. Analysis based on a phenomenological model suggests that bifurcations along the cracks' paths are more likely to take place closer to the impact region than far away from it, i. e., the bifurcation probability seems to lower as the perpendicular distance from the impacted lateral in- creases. It is also found that many observables are not sensitive to the plate material used in this work, as long as the fragment multiplicities corresponding to the fragmentation of the plates are similar. This gives support to the universal properties of the fragmentation process reported in for- mer experiments. However, even under the just mentioned circumstances, some spatial observables are capable of distinguishing the material of which the plates are made and, therefore, it suggests that this universality should be carefully investigated
